I am truly disturbed ... about the fears that are rampantly mounting, concerning the question of Mr. Obama being a natural born U.S. citizen, as required by the Constitution, to run for the office of the presidency of the United States. These fears are based on three elements:

* The failure of the RNC to execute a thorough vetting process, ensuring Mr. Obama is a Natural Born U.S Citizen.

* The failure of Mr. Obama to provide a legitimate Certificate of Live Birth (COLB). >p? * The failure of big media to perform its function as the watchdog "Fourth Branch" of the government.

This issue led Philip J. Berg, a long time Democrat and attorney, to file suit against Barack H. Obama, (Lawsuit Continues) challenging Senator Obamas lack of "qualification" to serve as President of the United States.

"This is a question of who has standing to uphold our Constitution, Berg said in a statement. If I dont have standing, if you dont have standing, if your neighbor doesnt have standing to question the eligibility of an individual to be President of the United States - the Commander-in-Chief, the most powerful person in the world - then who does? So, anyone can just claim to be eligible for congress or the presidency without having their legal status, age or citizenship questioned."

Polarik, I have admired your work regarding this issue since I joined FR and I appreciate all you have done.

I want to continue to fight this. It may be that Obama WAS born in Hawaii, it may be he never lost a US citizenship in Indonesia, or he perfectly legally reobtained his “natural born” citizenship as an adult. But the fact that he thinks he can skate on in on his word is terrifying. And that no one questions this is even more so.

It is true, is it not, that O and the DNC are/were paying lawyers to fight the release of the BC? If they are really fighting this thing, then thats just another amazing example of media bias, as thats the sort of thing (paying attorneys to cover up a simple fact) that would normally attract a HUGE amount of press coverage.

The courts’ dismissal of these suits for “lack of standing” of the filers to demand the upholding of the US Constitution- is at least as big a story as their claims

Note to all those who say “Move along, nothing to see here...”

None of the courts has found the complaints to be without merit.. They dismiss based on the “lack of standing” of citizens to demand action!

In Berg’s case, as a democrat donor, the judge in PA blew off his suit because he could not show significant enough personal damage if a fraudulent Presidential candidate was fielded by his party - and possibly elected!.

Ya know...if this guy is NOT an American citizen-and personally-I don’t believe he is-then we’ve been Trojan Horsed bigger than anybody in all of human history-even worse than the Trojans. And, BTW, somebody just bought 12 Carrier Battle Groups for 600 million dollars.

This is a loser. Obama assured that when he selected Biden as his running mate. Nobody, not Republicans, not even Democrats, wants a President Biden.

I suspect that, if Obama is truly not a natural born citizen, the congressional Democrats will keep it under their hats as assurance against a posibility of a time when there is a conflict between the executive and the legislative branches. One party rule inevitably results in splits between faction within the party.

To hear certain people tell it this was all a brilliantly executed trap to lure republicans into losing the election by embarrassing their candidate and allowing Obama to walk on water into the White House.

Which he seems to have done with out our help.

So why is this still an issue and better yet why is it gaining momentum?

Barry Soetoro has his birth certificate and it has that name on it, which is why it has been sealed, why he cannot show it, that’s what is so damaging he can never reveal it.

Barry Soetoro is not Barack Obama, he didn’t become Barack Obama until he met his real father in 1971(?). Prior to that he had two different names, his original name which you cannot find in either newspaper clipping that is on his original birth certificate and Barry Soetoro which was his legal name after he was adopted in Indonesia.

My guess is that it has never been legally changed since his adoption by Lolo Soetoro, he just decided after meeting his father to call himself Barack Hussein Obama Jr.

The question then becomes quite honestly is he entitled to run for president under an assumed name, especially if there is no documentation that shows that he ever legally changed it from what it was originally or after he was adopted.

This has to be the reason he continues to hide his original Birth Certificate.
